I've always wondered why some pilots with a VW that is designed to fly at 3200 rpm cruise it well beyond that. The same can be said for Vairs as well. Over rev any engine for an extended period of time and your flirting with disaster. My honest cruise at 3200 is 140 mph, if I wanna stretch the truth and tell people it cruises close to 150 then I should tell them I'm running it WOT as well.
